Latent Power Turbines

This strange looking device could deliver clean energy at a lower price than wind turbines or solar panels.

Heat is extracted from the laboratory air as electricity is generated. As a bonus, cooling the air provides free air conditioning.

The power generator is hidden inside the tube and runs at a lower temperature than the surrounding air. It does not rely on the wind blowing or the sun shining. So it can deliver a continuous output of electricity, day and night.

We offer you a range of articles covering different aspects of the technology.

How Latent Power Turbines could solve the British migration worries and other European concerns. But without Britain having to leave the EU. See Section 2.3 on this page.

Production line robots, driverless cars and globalisation are destroying semi-skilled jobs. They are also devastating traditional working class communities. But LP Turbines could go a long way to reversing this trend. We explain how on this page.

BREXIT

If you are weary of the political cat fighting about Brexit, try a fresh approach, by seeing it through the eyes of science.

Britain’s political leaders got the country into a fine mess when they failed to plan for a vote in favour of Brexit.

We offer some science based suggestions for avoiding another fine mess if the mood of the country changes and Brexit collapses. Our scientific approach involves thinking up to 50 years into the future, not just winning the next general election.

We have added some nudge psychology to promote the mental and physical health of the residents.

"Britain’s new high-speed rail line will be the most expensive railway in the world with costs per mile expected to reach £403m, according to Government calculations".Sunday Times 16 July 2017

After years of austerity, voters don't want to be insulted by a political vanity project. We suggest a low cost alternative to help more travellers.

Politicians have failed to grasp the underlying engineering problem: We are still using Victorian era train braking technology. This means braking distances for trains are about sixteen times the braking distance for a car. This limits the number of trains we can run on our existing tracks.

But this problem can be overcome by using anew invention.This would allow us to ease our network capacity problems in five years, without building any new lines.

Flood reduction farming

Problem: Modern large field farming has reduced the water holding capacity of the land and accelerated soil erosion is silting up our rivers and land drains.

Solution: Return to the smaller, more sheltered farm fields of the early Victorian era, but use teams of robot tractors instead of labour intensive horse drawn ploughs, in order to keep food production costs down.

"The UKRIO seems to have manoeuvred itself into a position similar to George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. It may be the most powerful body in the UK for influencing standards of research integrity, but its status is such that it can ignore questions about integrity within its own ranks."Ibid. Section 19.

We offer two articles on this problem that is harming British science.

Graphene -Whoops we made a mistake!

Why a failure to understand the subtle power of patents means that most of the £50 million British government and one billion Euro European funding for graphene research is likely to be wasted. At a time when European funding for science is under threat we must spend our research funds wisely to protect our European research base.
